Description
This wagon-wheel trace follows a short section of the Historic Route of the Oregon Trail where it crosses through the National Historic Site. In the early 1840s, the Mission served as a nearby stopping point to support immigrants on their journey west. Today, the fencepost lined trail provides a pleasant hike and the chance to see a small covered wagon along the way.
